19:45 Gillingham v Sheffield United 19/10 23/10 11/8

Gillingham 11th. Gillingham's home record a fairly respectable 7-4-5. Gillingham on a run of 3 straight home wins against the sides currently 2nd, 8th and 9th.

Sheffield United 22nd (albeit with a number of games in hand on the teams around them). Sheffield United 6pts from a possible 42 away from home (1-3-10). Sheffield United have scored just 8 goals in 14 away games. Sheffield Utd on a run of 3 straight away defeats against the teams currently 7th, 20th and 21st.

Leaving aside the fact they're in the cup quarter finals, which may mean they come into this game on a high, or may simply serve to distract them, is there any other reason at all why Sheffield Utd should be favourites and the Gills priced at around 2/1 for this one?

Nice spot RC, no idea why apart from their cup run.
I'm also tempted by Bury, Flitcroft seems to have them working hard, they haven't played for around a fortnight and there's not much between these two teams.
